SELF-CHECKOUTS are once again a hot topic after a Kroger shopper urged the retailer to make a change.

Retailers are struggling to find the balance between keeping operational costs low, protecting inventory, and giving customers the option of self-service.

As a result, a number of stores have launched trials and made changes to their self-checkout areas which have been identified as a problem area for theft.

According to a recent survey by LendingTree, 69% of people questioned believe that the self-service machines make theft easier with 15% saying they have committed theft.

More shockingly, 44% of them said they would do so again.

Now, a Kroger store in Indiana has come under fire after it reduced the availability of self-checkout registers.

"@kroger I think your store should really consider opening both self-checkout areas during peak hours at 10679 N Michigan Rd," one shopper said on X, formerly Twitter.

"You're trying your best but I think a change is warranted at this point.

"The new system unfortunately is hurting not helping."

Kroger responded thanking the customer for his feedback saying it would be forwarded to the leadership team.

The customer's complaints come just weeks after a fellow Kroger shopper shared their horror experience at the self-checkout of a location in Arkansas.

After experiencing long lines at the checkout, the shopper threatened the retailer with the competition of a rival store that had just opened in the area.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

"The new competition from Edwards Food Giant doesn't seem to have sunk in," the shopper said on X.

In a picture accompanying the post, two rows of self-checkouts had been closed off.

Kroger apologized for the frustrating lines at the store but fellow customers shared their own experiences with one having lines to the back of the store.

Another said that they refuse to visit the store during certain times.

    </div>  </div>  

On X, the shopper claimed that in the morning the employees at self-checkout "stand around" and "talk up a storm" while not doing their jobs.

After becoming so frustrated he demanded the return of cashiered lanes and the removal of self-checkouts.

"Put people back to work," he demanded.

Kroger has been contacted for comment.

Other retailers have also received the same criticism especially Target after it introduced a new policy limiting self-checkouts to 10 items.

However, more self-checkout changes may be on the way if a proposed law is passed in California.

Under the legislation, Walmart and other retailers may be forced to follow Target's item-limiting policy and add staff to its self-checkouts.

A SOCIAL Security beneficiary is facing some gloomy news after not getting their check for months.

In a comment on a Social Security Association (SSA) Facebook post, this user aired their grievances.

'I haven't had my check in 21 months,' cries Social Security user who claims IRS issue and now she's stuck on hold

The SSA shared a post on how to appeal an overpayment decision or amount to the agency along with ways to waive the debt if you're unable to pay it back.

An affected individual, who has been receiving Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits for 18 years, shared their distressing experience in a comment on the aforementioned post.

"I personally haven't had my check in 21 months," they lamented. "How do you expect us to live without money?"

The individual continued, "I have been trying all this time since July 2022 responding showing agents actual documents of payments not received also have fixed my IRS issue.

"When I call them… no answer or after being on hold an hour; call drop," the affected individual recounted.

"They don't pay me because of any reason they come up with out of the clear blue sky," they added.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

OVERPAYMENT PAINS

This kind of issue is not rare for those who do are being paid through Social Security.

A recipient of Social Security benefits has alleged that they are being demanded to reimburse thousands of dollars due to an apparent overpayment matter.

Expressing frustration, the individual asserted that they were provided with just a single month to generate the required funds and remit them to the SSA.

"I just got a notice giving me only 30 days to pay back $5,235.80," the recipient wrote in a post to a SSA blog on Facebook.

"I would have to dip into my dwindling IRA funds to get this kind of cash, which would further cause me to get hit with income tax on these funds," he added.

"I don't see an 'effective as of' date anywhere."

According to the recipient's remarks, it appears that they were not informed in advance about the overpayments until the total reached $5,235.80.

Overpayments may arise from either a mistake made by the recipient or by the SSA.

If the SSA is accountable for the error, they will notify the recipient accordingly.

Typically, the repayment procedure can be tailored to accommodate the recipient's circumstances, with deductions periodically made from future checks.

                        <p class="article__content--intro">                  Those who cannot afford to pay back the overpayment amounts noted by the SSA or feel they should not have to can file a specific form.              </p>          </div>  </div>  

Elsewhere, another Social Security beneficiary lodged an appeal with the administration after experiencing a decrease in her benefits stemming from an overpayment dating back three years.

Additionally, a separate beneficiary was informed that they owed SSA over $8,000 due to being overpaid.

WHOLE Foods has confirmed plans to largely expand its operational footprint as it makes the most of new technology and processes.

CEO Jason Buechel who has been at the helm for a year and a half has announced hopes for the 30 new Whole Foods stores.

Not only that, but he hopes to see this level of expansion year on year.

"Everything from my perspective is going great," Buechel told Yahoo Finance at a conference in Califonia.

The CEO detailed how the Texas-based chain launched its 10-year vision for the company at the beginning of 2024 in which it vowed to "grow with purpose."

Buechel explained that the company would be focusing on "expanding our reach" and "serving our customers in more ways."

As well as this, the team behind the retail giant will be looking at how they can continue to serve customers while also helping the planet which the CEO said is its "higher purpose."

While discussing goals to expand, Buechel noted that the growth of Whole Foods is something he is "really proud of."

He detailed how the chain has gone from single-digit store growth to now having a goal of opening "30 plus stores a year."

In addition to this Whole Foods currently has 75 stores in development.

But talking of his annual increase of 30 or more stores, the CEO proudly acknowledged, "That's expansive growth that we have taken on."

"We are really excited about it because we've got a lot of customer interest a lot of communities that are looking for us to bring stores and I'm excited because we're going to be bringing new formats as well."

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

Buechel detailed how a new version of a Whole Foods store will first be arriving in Manhattan.

The retailer announced in March that it will launch Whole Foods Market Daily Shop which is a smaller version of the usual store.

"This will allow us to open stores where we can't fit another full physical whole foods market store," Buechel said.

"This will be an opportunity for us to serve customers in a new way and I think this will be a great opportunity, especially for fill-in shops for customers."

Explaining the new format, Buechel said that larger shops may be completed once a week at an original Whole Foods store.

Then, during the week for smaller items such as milk or bread, or items on the go, the new Market Daily Shop will come in.

<!--googleoff: all-->  <blockquote class="article__quote">    </blockquote>  <!--googleon: all-->  

Regular Whole Foods customers will soon be noticing more changes that will benefit them including "seamless checkout" and lower prices.

Buechel highlighted how the cost of inflation has been "on the minds of many customers" and that as a result, the retailer has been working with its suppliers to try to limit the impact.

However, the "reality is inflation has been real," he said though Whole Foods has tried to minimize it for customers by increasing promotions.

The retailer will also be expanding its brands to offer more affordable products to customers.

Manchester United have clinched the Women's FA Cup trophy for the first time in the club's history with a 4-0 victory over Tottenham on Sunday.

Ella Toone opened the scoring for the Red Devils just before half-time at Wembleywith a sumptuous, curling finish which rose and looped past Rebecca Spencer.

Rachel Williams, who left Spurs to join United in 2022, doubled the lead for Marc Skinner's side in the second half with a superb header from a deep free-kick.

United then found themselves 3-0 up before the hour mark following a huge goalkeeping error from Spencer – as Lucia Garcia slotted into an empty net – and the Spaniard got on the scoresheet again to spark wild celebrations at Wembley.

It is the first time in 12 years that a club outside of the WSL big three – Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City – have lifted the Women's FA Cup trophy after United painfully lost to Emma Hayes' Blues in last year's final.

United, who headed into this year's final as the favourites, dominated the first half and were finally rewarded with virtually the last kick before the break as England international Toone shifted past Eveliina Summanen and fired her shot from outside the box into the top corner.

Less than 10 minutes into the second half, Katie Zelem's free-kick from distance found Williams in the box who climbed highest and found the back of the net.

Just before the hour mark, United had a three-goal cushion as Spurs 'keeper Spencer passed the ball straight to the feet of Garcia, who easily slotted home.

Lionesses star Beth England hit the crossbar for Spurs as the north Londoners attempted to reduce United's lead but on 74 minutes, Garcia made it 4-0 after some sloppy defending allowed her to power home from inside the box.

No more goals followed as United, who only reached the top-flight of women's football in 2019, made history by landing the iconic trophy for the very first time.

Paul Merson admits he was 'shocked' Arsenal star Bukayo Saka was not included in the eight-man shortlist for Premier League player of the season.

Saka's Arsenal team-mates Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard were both selected but there was no space for the England winger.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed another productive season under Mikel Arteta, scoring 16 goals and making nine assists to help Arsenal challenge for the Premier League title.

Saka was named on the shortlist for young player of the season but Merson was 'very surprised' he was snubbed from the main list.

Rice and Odegaard were joined in the eight-player shortlist by Manchester City duo Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer and Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak.

Asked if he was surprised Saka was omitted from the shortlist, Merson told Sky Sports: 'Yeah, very much so. 

'When it comes to the vote, I think people forget about form at the start of the season. He was unplayable at the start of the season. 

Bukayo Saka has enjoyed another impressive season for Arsenal (Picture: Getty)

'I know it's been a little bit harder for him recently but teams double up on him. That's what happens when you're successful and good at your job, teams don't want him on the ball. 

'I am quite shocked at that… Arsenal are at the top and Saka's been superb so he should be in with a shout for player of the year, no doubt about that.' 

Saka will hope to make more of an impact on Sunday when title-chasing Arsenal travel to Old Trafford to face struggling Manchester United.

The Gunners head to Manchester sitting second in the Premier League after title rivals Manchester City thumped Fulham 4-0 on Saturday to go top.

Arsenal are chasing a first league title since 2004, while Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to become the first team in history to win four successive Premier League titles.

The big games will keep on coming for Saka after the conclusion of the Premier League season, with the Arsenal star set to play a big part in England's Euro 2024 campaign this summer.

Nemanja Vidic has praised the mentality of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash with Manchester United on Sunday.

Saliba and Gabriel have been pivotal to Arsenal's impressive season under Mikel Arteta, helping the club keep 17 Premier League clean sheets so far this term.

Arsenal will be hoping for another solid defensive display at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon as Arteta's side can retake top spot in the Premier League if they beat United.

And Vidic, who won five Premier League titles during his career with United, has been impressed with Arsenal's defensive duo.

When asked to give his verdict on the Premier League's best defenders, Vidic told The Sunday Times: 'I like talking about the young ones. Micky van de Ven, he's fast, strong and good in the air, and has capabilities to really improve.

'The two from Arsenal [William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes] are doing well. Watching them, I feel they like defending and want the clean sheet. I like the mentality they show.

'And they are a partnership. That is important. Arsenal, this season, have not been conceding many goals and the situation when they went to City and didn't concede – that was a statement of Arsenal as a team. That they want to win the trophy. Not just play nice. I think that's good. Finally!'

Nemanja Vidic insists Manchester United's current run of form will help Sir Jim Ratcliffe assess the squad (Getty)

Meanwhile, Vidic believes United's current poor run of form under Erik ten Hag will help give an accurate assessment of the squad for Sir Jim Ratcliffe's ahead of the summer transfer window.

'Everything comes from the top down. Especially values,' Vidic said.

'For the new management it's not great that United is in this situation it is – but it's good for them to see the capability of the players. Almost to see the worst of Man United.

'I look at Sir Jim Ratcliffe, he is a very successful person in his businesses and not by accident. He has so many people under his management and understands the importance of structure and mentality and culture.

'Looking from the outside, I think what he's trying to do is to put the right leadership in the right areas and create a winning culture. I think everyone is waiting for Manchester United to win. Not just United fans.'
